1
When I was seventeen
2
It was a very good year
3
It was a very good year for small town girls
4
And soft summer nights
5
We'd hide from the lights
6
On the village green
7
When I was seventeen
8
When I was twenty-one
9
It was a very good year
10
It was a very good year for city girls
11
Who lived up the stair
12
With all that perfumed hair
13
And it came undone
14
When I was twenty-one
15
When I was thirty-five
16
It was a very good year
17
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
18
Of independent means
19
We'd ride in limousines
20
Their chauffeurs would drive
21
When I was thirty-five
22
But now the days grow short
23
I'm in the autumn of the year
24
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
25
From fine old kegs
26
From the brim to the dregs
27
And it poured sweet and clear
28
It was a very good year
29
It was a mess of good years
